From: Mayor L.B. Scott re

Regional Districe Committee Appointments ~ cont'd,

As to the alleged "lack of involvement of other Council members of member
municipalities", I can only say that this is up to the Council membereg who sit
as Directors as to what reports they make to their Councils and the degree to
which the individual Council members fare to involve themselves.

The final criticisn of the Port Moody Council that the same people are
appointed to several committees regardless of the importance of the area they
represent really surprises me. As a long-standing critic of the Board being
"Vancouver" dominated, I Support the representatives of the smaller municipalities
being appointed to major committees. It is high time that the "little voices" are
being heard and I an pleased that: this is now taking place.

As with our local Council Committee appointments, many factors must be
considered and the duty of Committee appointments is not an easy one, whether it
be local or regional.

While I do and shail probably continue to criticize the Board on various

matters, I cannot, in all sincerity, support the criticism levelled by Port Moody

presented to us.

Respectfully submitted,
Mayor L.B. Scott.

attschment,
